California full service clothing manufacturers?

[dancerqt]

Hello all!

I am new to the site and would like to know if anyone out there knows of some full service-clothing manufacturers in California specializing swimwear. I am in the process of starting a new swimwear line and I'd like to use a manufacturer that can do everything from pattern-making to sample-making with fabric sourcing and in-house embellishing. Thanks!

Have you tried google searching for this

Does it have to be in California? Have you considered manufacturing them in Asia?

hello!

I seem to be having the same problem as you. I am seeking additional manufacturing for a bridal separates collection that is produced in organic fabric.

US based manufacturing is hard to come by, seems everything is done oversees. AND the US co's are not marketed well, mostly get business via word of mouth from other designers. I would also prefer a manufacturer local to me, in the Kansas City (or at least midwest) area. BUT take what you can get.

Be sure that your manufacturer can grade your designs into multiple sizes using a technology that can be transferable or printable if you chose to go with another manufacturer. Gerber Acu-Mark is best.

So far, these are the best i have found. I am yet to hear back from them, but will have more info when I do. Please let me know if you come accross a good company!
